Sanford v. Brandon Owens11/22/1994
the injury here which constitutes a mutual mistake of fact. The nature of the injury here was a general instability of the knee with the possible extent being a total knee replacement in the future. The diagnosis did not rule out the possibility of future surgeries to repair laxity or other problems caused by the instability of the knee falling short of a total replacement.
RETURN TO WORK
Although Sanford claims he has not been able to obtain employment, we conclude the Workers' Compensation Court did not err in determining that Sanford's employment prognosis has not changed. Prior to settlement in April of 1991, Dr. Iwersen determined that Sanford could return to sedentary employment and, most recently, Dr. Paulos has also testified that he is able to return to sedentary employment.
We hold the findings and conclusions of the Workers' Compensation Court are supported by substantial credible evidence.
Affirmed.
JUSTICES HARRISON, HUNT, TRIEWEILER and NELSON concur.
